The new versions are called the Ryos TKL Proand Ryos TKL. Their development is based directly on user feedback via Facebook. “We posted the tenkey less version of the Ryos as an “easter egg” earlier this year.

Would be nice if they'd start out 2014 by actually supporting their current product line....

I'm really tired of all these announcements. New product announced, then like half of a year later they get the first proto samples, then a year later they actually "release it", when in fact the product doesn't exist or is not available. Then, finally, when you get the real thing, you have to wait for drivers.

For example Roccat Ryos - they announced it like a year ago or more, and I still can't get MK Pro Brown. I could eventually order one from Amazon.co.uk, but with UK layout , which I dislike and at a sweet price of $300 converted to USD.

First - support what you have or you announce, then add new stuff.

Maybe to match his existing monitor and keyboard which may also be white in colour.

They sell it only in very limited options in many countries and with huge delays. Also, even in Denmark, the delay between announcement and availability was almost a year.
